Personal Information

Email address, name and chosen passwords are saved on a central database when a visitor registers, in order that we may update them on the status of an order placed or contact them for marketing purposes if they have opted into this. No other personal information is stored on our website. The visitor is able to update and edit this information at any time by accessing âMy Detailsâ on the left toolbar. The visitor may also opt-out of being contacted for marketing purposes when they first register on the site. To have an email address registration removed from our site, please contact the email/postal address or telephone number below.

Financial information is used for billing purposes and to fulfil customerâs orders. Financial information is held on a secure database with restricted access. These security measures prevent unauthorised release of or access to personal information. A secure server is used, which encrypts all payment information a visitor inputs before it is sent and to ensure that any personal information (such as address, telephone numbers or email given when placing an order) is stored securely.

All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our finance department or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
